Many of us have had negative experiences with Massachusetts ... they are known for reversing their decision on a family chosen if the foster parents who originally said no to being an adoption resource change their minds when it comes down to the child leaving them ... and
Massachusetts if one of the few states who do not pay for post placement services (i.e. reimbursement of homestudy fees associated with an out-of-state placement, post-supervision visits (which run anywhere from $250.00 - $500.00 x 3 required for finalization) and are very slow in responding ...
If you are in-state you may have a more positive experience.
Keep us posted - this board has lots of wisdom and knowledge to share!
